A covered patio is a proven way to turn your backyard into a year-round retreat. Maybe it’s where you’ll host weekend barbecues. Or maybe it will become that quiet place you go to unwind after a long day. It might even become your favorite room in the house—just without the walls. But that transformation only happens if you work with a builder who shows up, communicates clearly, and does the job right.
Here are six key things to look for when hiring a Dallas covered patio builder to ensure your project goes smoothly from start to finish.
1. Look for a builder who guarantees their work.
Many contractors promise big results but fall short when it comes to reliability. You don’t want to be stuck wondering when (or if) your builder will show up, or worse, left with a half-finished patio.
That’s why Archadeck of Northeast Dallas offers a 100% project completion guarantee. You can count on us to stick to the plan and communicate proactively at every stage. From day one, we keep you in the loop. That means no ghosting and no surprises—just steady progress.
2. Ensure everything is built to code.
Cutting corners on construction might save on time or upfront costs, but it creates headaches down the line. And this is especially true when it comes time to sell your home or insure the property. A reputable Dallas patio contractor will handle all necessary permitting and make sure that your structure meets or exceeds local building codes.
That includes proper footings, storm-rated roofing, safe electrical work, and more. You deserve peace of mind that your patio isn’t just beautiful. You need it to be safe and legal too.
3. Ask what warranties are included.
Even the best-looking patio can become a burden if something goes wrong and you’re left without support. That’s why we back our work with industry-leading warranties that protect your investment for years to come.
It’s not just about the deck boards or pavers. It’s about knowing you can reach out to us if something shifts, cracks, or just doesn’t feel right—and we’ll make it right.
4. Look for custom craftsmanship, not cookie-cutter builds.
Your home isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your outdoor space shouldn’t be either. Whether you want a herringbone paver layout, a hand-chiseled stone countertop, or a roofline that matches the pitch of your home exactly, you should choose a patio builder who is comfortable adding custom touches that elevate the entire build.
Our team draws from decades of custom design experience to help bring your vision to life. That kind of experience goes a long way when it comes to the small details that make your space uniquely yours.
5. Work with a full-service Dallas patio builder.
Managing multiple contractors can turn an exciting project into a logistical and costly nightmare. When you work with Archadeck, you don’t need to worry about chasing permits, coordinating trades, or tracking down materials.
We handle it all, including design, scheduling, materials, and construction. That means your only job will be to dream big and let us take care of the rest. With extensive experience in patios & hardscapes, we’re equipped to manage even the most complex projects without missing a beat.
6. Choose an experienced team.
Some builders only do simple patios. Others can’t handle custom upgrades like integrated kitchens or extended rooflines. We’ve built everything from pergolas to full-scale outdoor living rooms with fire features, lighting, media walls, and more.
Want a cabana by the pool? A patio cover that blends with your home’s style? A space that’s both elegant and weather-ready? We’ve done it. And we’ll bring that same level of experience to your project—no matter how ambitious it is.
